seventy-five cents and one dollar, and
are much affected by impecunious
young men who ape the New York
dudes. Canes are cut in tho rough
and brought to the city in carloads.
In some mountainous districts many of
the Inhabitants do nothing else but cut
and ship cane wood. In one factory
in New York 0yer ten thousand canes
are turned out daily. They are hewed
and turned wholly by machinery.

and make q most handsome stick. Tho

of their strength. and surely what can
be more handsome than highly-pOl-

Silver-topped canes sell as high as ten
dollars, but many of those sold by
unscrupulous dealers contain less than
two dollars worth of silver. The same
fraud is often practiced in gold-headed
canes. which sell from twenty dollars
up. The buckthorn stick has had its
day and is now but little used. The
cane is perhaps more popular in Amer

cattle from Scotland, shipments of cattle
from Canada to the United States should
be prohibited until the Dominion authori-

the shipments of cattle from Scotland as
should insure certain immunity to the

ticed in looking over the petition that it is
signed by tho largest property holders, not
Only of this city but in the country as well
All the REPRESENTATIVES Of the various rail-
roads living in the city have their signatures
20 the petition and say that sedgwick cosnty
should tave Q better court house. It's no
uncom,non thing to hear some Of o1r best
business men say that capital is coming from
all over the country to be invested here, and
it ID disgrace FOR the county to be repre-
serted by building less imposing than many
Fswrounding it erected by private enterprise.
One substantial farmer yesterday was tell
ing a crowd on COINS corner that all that
was needed to get new court house was to
have every tax payer serve on jury. lie
said every man who had ever
served in that capacity during
one term Of court was heartily sick OF the
ould court house, aud would favor building
larger and better house.
Let the county commissioners bring tbs
matter before the people and hear what they
have to say It is our opinion they will be
nearly unanimous for a new court house II
tho proposition is within reasonable bounds
The proposition to sell the old house and two
lots for SIS, 900 will go long way towards
building q new house commensurate with the
wants of the county, il they can be sold for
